Public service announcement

As you may know, LiveJournal has added the ability to flag posts and journals as "adult content." What you may not know is that everyone's account was set by default to "collapse" (like an lj-cut) adult content. To change this setting, go to the bottom of this page: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/

Extra special added surprise: if your birthdate is not set, the options to show adult content are disabled. (Thanks to calimac for this update.)

Comments are screened. The purpose of this post is to inform people about how the software works (mechanism), not to provide a place to rant about it (policy). (I don't like it either.)

You know, I've been wondering about that. I don't think I've posted anything since that came into effect. I added a fake birth date that should get the flag reset, if I've read your posting correctly. If you get a chance, could you let me know on Thursday night or Friday if I've done it right?

There's no way for me to tell what your settings are, because they affect only what you see. Sorry!
